mexico city was built and expanded, it is now mostly concrete, giant lakebed. their seventh over 7,000 feet in altitude and as a result of all of that infrastructure problems over the years, coupled with climate change, their aquafer for his are woefully low of those who study this sort of thing, say they could be months away from a day zero, wouldn't be like cape town, south africa back in 2018 because that municipality has basically one source of water. but what happens in mexico city is there so dependent on these aquifers that just aren't being recharged urged when the rains do come, it runs off instead of seeping back into the ground where it can be re-used. their kanazawa, the big national water system managers in the country says they will, they've been cutting how much you can pump from that it went from 8% to 25% less. there are lots of problems in the infrastructure

a lot of the water needs to be pumped up hill at leaks there. but something to pay attention to john and a warmer world. >> bill weir, great to have you this morning. thanks so much, my friend >> a prisoner swap in its final stages. and one that would have included alexei navalny, what his teen is now revealing was in the works the day before navalny die. >> all right. breaking this morning, ukraine pulls back from a city in the east, a new retreat. what does this mean? and president zelenskyy tells cnn he cannot understand how donald trump can be on the side of russian president vladimir putin. >> and >> on the eve of the michigan primary, nikki haley vowing to stick it out despite two big losses, her home-state primary and her biggest donor. does she have any chance at all in michigan? break down the final polls for you. i'm sara sidner alongside john berman and kate baldwin and this is cnn news

central >> new this morning, a top aide to alexey navalny. now he says they were in the quote, final stages of a prisoner swap the day before navalny's death. now this aide revealed this morning that the deal was presented to russia i'm president vladmir putin earlier this month, and would have included the release of two americans for the return of a former fsb officer currently being held in europe cnn's matthew chance has much more live from moscow for us. he's joining us now, matthew, what more are you learning about this you have a technical issue. we're going to try to get matthew chance reconnected to learn more about i mean, this is startling reporting about this potential prisoner swap in its final stages right before alexey navalny died,

we'll have much more. we can get matthew chance backup. janice are trying to raise matthew. we have even more news from the region breaking this morning. we are just getting word that ukraine has retreated from a town on the eastern front. this is the second time this has happened to just a couple of weeks. and it comes as ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy says, he cannot understand how donald trump can be on the side of russian president vladimir putin in a new interview with our kaitlan collins, he said, quote it's unbelievable kaitlan reports from kyiv >> yeah in this one-on-one interview with cnn, president zelenskyy made clear what he believes are the stakes of ukraine not getting any more aid from the united states, something that is at a complete standstill inside the us congress right now. but he made clear just how pivotal the aid to ukraine has been on the battlefield. so you see the difference that us egg makes

its what you're saying. >> yes, it depends that this year. >> if >> not get anything, will not add any success. and also, i >> will have any success >> any new success. and i think the route will be closed with a grain because it to defend it, it's also about some ammunition, some air defense and some other systems so that's why without it and without we can't count on this really stark comment. you're basically saying that there'll be no new success for ukraine there's no new us aid. essentially. this all depends on us aid. >> steps success forward will depend on your say. yes, not defending not only defending line because if you defend, just defend, you give possibility. >> russia push you >> yes, small steps back. >> but any anyway, you, we will have this steps back

>> small one. >> but when you >> step back, you lose people. we will lose people it's just a remarkable assessment there from president zelenskyy laying out what the stakes here are, what this means for the battlefield. and of course, what the risk is if they don't get any more of that usaid, and i should note that as he was talking about what this next year is going to look like reflecting on the past two years, but also what is 2024 going to look like? he predicted that russia could conduct a counter offensive as early as may. he talked about what that could look like if ukraine does not have the aid by then or any new aid from the united states. we also dug into politics as well because he predicted that the election in the united states could be a turning point for what? happening between russia and ukraine as well. and we asked him his thoughts on former president trump and what that could mean for him. all of that, of course, will air in our one-on-one interview >> or thanks to kaitlan collins for that. and we'll get right back to kate, who's got some developing news. >> so now we do reconnected with matthew chance is joining

us from moscow for this news coming out about reporting matthew being revealed by a top aide to alexey navalny saying that there was a prisoner swap, a prisoner exchange in the works right before he died. what are you learning? >> yeah. i mean, kate, this is an extraordinary twist and we're determined to get it to you. and what i can tell you is that there have been rumors for some time that alexey navalny was part of a negotiation to swap prisoners in russia, us versus paul whelan, evan gershkovich, the wall street journal reporter for a russian national, being held in a german jail he's been sentenced to murder there. he said to be an fsb hitman are basically what spin what's come out now from navalny's team, this is the late russian opposition leader, is that alexey navalny was now they're publicly saying he was pulled part of that negotiation that he was going to be swapped as

well in exchange for those american citizens. and that russian national in that, in that german prisoners, the first time they've come out and publicly said that they're also saying that this could be the reason why alexey navalny died. of course, navalny's team accused the kremlin the ordering his death. in that prison. basically, they're saying that the night before he died, that negotiations to swap him were in the last stage and then in the morning or the next day, he was pronounced dead and they're saying, you know, he was basically killed to take him off the table as a negotiating chip. that's the that's the implication and the allegation that the valleys team are making. now, we should say that the kremlin have categorically denied anything to do with navalny's death. they've also not confirmed to us that he was part of any negotiation for a prisoner swap. it hasn't been confirmed to us by the state department, by us officials, by the germans either. but it is a real really interesting twist in this. absolutely. you

>> awful >> episode. but what's been taking place in russia over the past week or so >> absolutely, matthew. thank you so much for jumping on to give us this latest reporting, extraordinary reporting thank you, sir. >> all right. lawmakers are heading back to washington this week and they are staring down. i potential partial government shutdown on march 1st that is this friday, of course, if no deal is reached on funding, cnn's lauren fox is joining us. this morning. lauren, it feels like groundhog day. i feel like we've been through this. i don't know two times very recently. what can you tell us >> yeah, this certainly is a repeat of what we've seen over the course of the last several months. and i think a shutdown is certainly possible by friday at midnight. that is the deadline. right now. appropriators have been working from sunup to sundown over the last several days trying to find a way forward. but here are the key sticking points.

republicans in the house need to have some policy victories in order to turn around and show their right flank. but they got something out of these negotiations so discussions over potential policy riders are really holding this process up right now, we had expected that we could see text of this agreement last night. it was not ready. they announced yesterday instead that negotiations are continuing and you had this very terse language from senator chuck schumer, the majority leader in the senate, in a letter to his colleagues, he wrote quote it is my sincere hope that in the face of a disruptive shutdown that would hurt our economy and make american families less safe. speaker johnson will step up to once again, buck the extremist in his caucus and do the right thing. now, just a few hours later, it's speaker onsen. he hit back on twitter saying in a statement, quote leader schumer's letter fails to mention that many of the points still being debated come from new democrat demands that were not previously included in

the senate bills at a time of divided government, senate democrats are attempting at this late stage to spend on priorities that are further left than what their chamber agreed upon. now, here's what matters. the deadline is friday at midnight, and it is very possible given the fact that this process takes a long time on the united states senate floor, that they may need to move forward with a short-term gap in order to make sure that the government doesn't shut down. that could be the problem for speaker johnson because he's been saying he did not want to have another short-term bill if the government potentially shuts down on friday night, it would be a partial government shutdown. then there's a series of bills that expire on march 8. that is when you could see a full government shutdown. so a lot on the line this morning, sarah, and so far, what you're seeing is a war words between these two liters, serum dysfunction as well with we have to keep talking about these shutdowns and going to the very last minute, we'll see what happens. i know you'll be watching. thank you so much. lauren fox there joining us now

to talk much more about all of this is cnn national security analyst and the cia's former chief of russia operations. steve hall. see if i want to start with what matthew chance has just bringing to us. it's really extraordinary reporting from a top aide to alexey navalny saying that putin was offered a prisoner swap. there was an offer made and they were even final stages is how it's described for a swap that would have included navalny, two americans in exchange for an fsb officer who's being held in berlin what do you think of this >> i mean, it's pretty shocking stuff. and if that reporting is true, and it raises a whole bunch of really interesting questions, starters, the russians have always been trying to get this guy, this, this fsb officer who is currently in a german prison for assassinating an enemy of the russian, of the russian regime and enemy of putins in germany. the germans, for whatever reason, had been very reticent to get the answer to

make him part of the deal, perhaps german law or whatever the reasons are, but there's always been great interest in moscow's. so this is the first we're hearing. i think that this connection between all right, maybe, maybe navalny can be part of the deal sweetened with a package of americans in order to get this fsb officer out of germany that raises questions though, if he was killed because of that, because of the impending deal who was on whose side inside the kremlin? because it sounds like you've got two different views of what should happen. so complicated stuff, it'll be interesting to see it all shakes out. >> complicated, right? and with the cabinet as well, putting it is if this all the reporting bears out to be true that we're hearing this because as navalny's team, if you will, suggesting they're suggesting then the navalny was killed as matthew chance was describing it, to take him off the table as a negotiator getting chip. >> i mean, that >> put us put aside if that is true >> what that would

>> mean from the perspective of vladimir putin and what he views as his kind of runway to work here or what he's capable of doing without repercussions, what does that say? >> well, i mean, what that speaks to katie's is sort of what we've always known about putinism in russia today, which is that if putin wants to get rid of somebody, you know, it's, it's, it can be done very expeditiously and is really no, nobody to stand in the way that we've seen that time and time again, what they all the opposition people that he's killed him the taspinar. the interesting thing here is in my mind, who was on the side of saying yes, let's put navalny on the table and then who was against him because all of those issues would have been behind the kremlin walls and would indicate perhaps some sort of schism. again, if this reporting is true, some sort of schism between those who thought, yeah, let's cut a deal with navalny and those who say absolutely not, he's too dangerous if he remains alive. so a lot of questions still be answered on this one. >> add into this then something else, even before this

reporting came out, it was going to ask you about is it alexey navalny's body has now been handed over to his mother navalny's team now says that they expect to be able to hold a public funeral at the end of this week's at some course, during this week, for some reason, that surprises me that that's going to be allowed in russia considering the central military clampdown on anything of protest or anything in speaking in opposition of vladimir putin in this moment, does this surprise you >> you know, what doesn't surprise me is this hole back-and-forth on this. and the reason that they're going back and forth on this and the reason that sometimes it's a surprise to say, well, maybe the russians it would allow for some sort of public thing, or maybe they wouldn't is what's behind all of this is putin's fear of turning navalny into a martyr, providing a moment where the russian population can take to the streets, to the

tens of thousands and begin some sort of, some sort of significant protests and push against the putin, the putin government. so it's not surprising that they're very, very focused on this because they don't want to provide that opportunity. so it's a real tough line for them to walk. it could go badly regardless of which way they go on. and so they got to treat a very, very careful and then you have this new interview that kaitlan collins did with ukrainian president zelenskyy and his commentary in the interview on >> donald trump, i thought was really interesting, saying that he doesn't think that donald trump understands putin because he never fought him, but also saying, going. when you, when i heard that, i thought does this seem like zelenskyy kind of searching for a logical explanation of some sort for as zelenskyy put it himself, quote, how trump can be on the side of putin. what do you think of that? >> i mean, he's, he's asking the right questions. it's interesting that he's decided to take some sort of a, i

suppose limited strategic risk to say something negative. in other words, saying, perhaps donald bianna is understand how donald trump could be so enamored with vladimir putin and so supportive and not supportive of ukraine. if it turns out that donald trump is elected president, this on the united states, and of course what he's created is perhaps a problem. he may have calculated. it doesn't matter much anyway, so we will get it out there, but there's no doubt that that really the fate of ukraine in a very important sense rests with the united states and with the rest of our nato allies. so he's concerned about that as well. they shouldn't be. >> yeah. i mean, he said if the united states >> does not continue its support, millions of people will end up dead. it's good to see you, steve. thank you so much for coming in. a lot of headlines, coming in a lot, going on with this. and we're also going to hear more from that interview from president zelenskyy and his one-on-one conversation patient with kaitlan collins tonight at 09:00 p.m. eastern? >> john, where a federal officials revealing new information about the suspect accused of killing a student in

to suggest something relatively clear here. >> yeah, we're number one. let me just put it that way. okay? >> take a look here. choice for gop nominee and misha donald trump. well ahead of nikki haley, 72% to 27%. i'll note this poll is a little bit old. we have not had a lot of recent data in the state of michigan, although some of the more recent data does seem to backup this wide large spread for donald trump. and i will note john, look, haley, michigan, she is only in the last week announced the michigan leadership team only in the last week started erin tv ads in michigan and only in the last week started making campaign stops. we are not really in the early starts anymore where these candidates are spending a ton of time. this campaign is becoming net nationalized very, very quickly. >> and when you talk about the future of this campaign, harry, the future is like now, the next two or three weeks. >> that's exactly right. mr. berman saw if we take here cumulative delegates allotted, it's going to get very late, very soon on the calendar, only 6% of delegates are a lot it's so far eight days from now on

march 5, 50%, march 12th, 15 days from now. look at this all the way up to 56%, a majority of delegates and 22 days from now, about three weeks from now on march 19th, already 71% of delegates will be allotted. nikki haley running out of time very, very quickly this campaign this nomination could be wrapped up round and they're sitting in donald trump's wins have been convincing and they have been large. if you're looking ahead though past maybe the primary season to the general election, some people see a few warning signs for trump. >> yeah, there are a few warning signs. you know, he really wants to have nikki haley supporters locked up, but there seems to be, you know, so far in these early states, 20% for it haley, about an iowa than more than 40% in new hampshire, then about 40% in south carolina. how do haley supporters feel about trump? look at this 18%, only 18% have a favorable view. the vast majority of haley's parts do not like donald trump 75% convincing these folks to vote

for donald trump and the general may be an uphill climb especially john, if there's a conviction trump on fit for the presidency, if convicted in south carolina and the exit poll, it was 36% in new hampshire, it was 42% in an iowa state that trump won his widest margin, at least in states nikki haley's on about it was 31%. so the fact is john, there are warning signs for trump going towards a general election. yes, he's doing very well in the primary so far, but come the general, especially if he's convicted of a crime it might get rather dicey rather quickly, but it is a hypothetical but not an impossibility, something to keep an eye on going forward? exactly. right. thank you. thank you, sir. >> sir. all right. haley's >> still in the race. she is giving independence and and others a choice with me now is cnn political commentator and former white house communications director under donald trump. alyssa farah griffin. i'm curious. we just heard from harry about this potential danger in the general so where would those voters go if donald trump, who, which so far all of the polling shows

and all of the numbers have shown that he has won the primaries as we go into super tuesday, we will see, but that's what the numbers have shown so far. what happened to those voters? who really love haley? do they not go to the polls at all? what do they do? >> well, let's take a step back. so donald trump's running virtually as an incumbent, being that he's a former president and somebody with virtually universal name id, there's a lot of americans who don't even know who nikki haley's if you present that name and she has consistently gotten about 30% to 40% of the vote in these primaries, just getting about 40% in south carolina. that is a glaring blaring siren alarm bell to the republican party that there are a significant portion of republicans who do not want donald trump. they know who he is and they want someone else. >> so if you look at >> those voters, we don't have clear data on how many would actually be willing to go over to donald trump. but there, even if there's a small margin that are kind of this, never trump, i can't be with him. that's enough to make him lose this general the election. and i'm just kind of stun that this isn't a bigger wake-up call to the party. he is the

least popular that he's ever been. yes. will be the nominee, but his ability to actually win the general is very much in question >> all right. >> this weekend, >> donald trump expressed his support for ivf. this has become a big issue because of what happened with the. alabama supreme court, who basically made it impossible for ivf to be done in that state. and a lot of the ivf clinics have closed because they're in this position where they don't want to go to jail for something that happens with embryos can you give me some sense of whether or not this is going to become a bigger issue when it comes to the general well, just absolutely banner month for republicans declaring war on taylor swift and ivf. two things with like 90% approval ratings in this country great. i think that it was a wake-up call to republicans. what an overstep alabama was. and that other states in the south where there's major restrictions on abortion access, but other reproductive health that they need to get ahead of this. and you've seen nearly universally republican lawmakers, governors come out and say that they

support ivf. so i think the quicker republicans can backtrack on this the better. but i mean, it, it writes the ads for democrats themselves. >> you think that because donald trump also spoke about it and said that he's going to do something about this no, he wants them those folks in alabama, he's talking to them about doing something about this. but the supreme court there has spoken that that's where the challenge lies, that republicans can message that they're supportive of it. but if courts rule a certain way, there's some very blurry lines in the post-dobbs era around this. and you could see other southern states very likely go this direction it's, it's a huge disaster for republicans if they cannot get ahead on this issue. all >> right, i want to talk to you about something that donald trump said. this over this weekend? he talked about black voters and why he believes they like him more. now, here's what he said >> i got indicted a second time, third time, and a fourth time and a lot of people said that that's why the black people like because they have been hurt so badly and discriminated against they

actually viewed me as i'm being discriminated against a mug shot. we've all seen the mug shot. and, you know who embraced it more than anybody else the black population, it's incredible. you see black people walking around with my mug shot i don't know who all of these people are who are telling him that. but it is certainly not what i'm hearing from some folks in the black population. why did he do this? it is i >> mean, pandering is too soft of award is just cringe at offensive and he's waited into this before. and his last campaign, he announced a plan for the african-american community and called it the platinum plan, trying to lean into like him problem culture. and i'm like, if he has made some inroads with black men specifically about 26%, which is historically high for republicans. i would say that's far more likely has to do with a lot of working class voters shifting from democrats over the last decade to the republican party, not any of this sort of language that he's waiting into. i think that for democrats they need to kind of exploit the fact that he's waiting to some very

racist theories in the past. he has died with white supremacist. that's the way to get the voters back there. that may be saying on the economy, we're closer to donald trump but this is not someone who represents us. >> yeah, we saw some very different numbers for basically younger black males who in 2020 voted for donald trump more than they did in 2016? teen. but overarching, if you look at the big numbers, what voters have generally gone, black women. yeah, that's basically have never been with trump lately. completely the opposite thank you so much. you always bring the heat. i appreciate it. all right? all right. over to uk. >> we are learning new details now about the suspect accused of killing a nursing student in georgia. what federal officials are now saying about where came from a us airman set himself on fire outside the israeli embassy in washington, dc. >> your back? >> but i'm translate back with

learning? >> well, we're learning a lot about this, kate, i will tell you we're standing in a place that we could not stand on friday investigators actually swarmed up and down this area here. that's the apartment complex. but they were focused on on, this backside of the trail? investigators were walking through to see what evidence they could grab. we know they arrested jose a birra, who's 26, and we know that he entered in the country september 2022 when he was arrested, when he crossed over the border and at some point, he also was arrested in new york. he's now been charged with felony murder and mouse murder, which you could understand why this campus is still in shock about this crime. this trail is used by a lot of people. we saw people running the trail even last week just after the murder. the big question right now is what exactly happened when we talked to the police chief last week when they were announcing this arrest, they said they believe this was a crime of opportunity that the two did not know each other and ran ali was attack though. we also know this is

going to be a big day here because class is just started again and so many students here been hit hard by this. i talked to one student so this was like a gut punch because obviously people enjoyed this campus or hasn't been a murder here. and over 20 years. so you can understand the pain they're going through, but the focus now is, what does anyone know? hello about this man? what was he doing and what were the whereabouts? >> we know she died by blunt force >> trauma, but there's so many still questions by the school. and in fact, there are many students are asking for security be raised on campus in light of all this. but somebody left questions that have left to be unanswered right now until we get more from investigators about this. but then today at 03:00, there will be that visual so many people who plan to come out to really show their respects for his young woman who lost her life. >> okay? >> absolutely. >> ryan young. thank you so much from athens, georgia for us. john. >> all right. breaking news just moments ago, officials confirmed to cnn that the active duty us air force member who police say set himself on

fire outside the israeli embassy in washington, has died cnn's gabe cohen with us now with the very latest gabe, what have you learned well, john, you're absolutely right. that is the latest that this 25-year-old active duty member of the us air force, aaron bushnell from san antonio has died from his injuries in the hospital and we have a pretty clear picture of what happened in this incident in broad daylight in washington, dc around 01:00 p.m. sunday, because it appears bush now recorded and live streamed just about all of it. now, we are not showing that video is graphic and disturbing, but i can walk you through what we see in it. you can see bush now in his military uniform, walking down the street in dc, really speaking calmly to the camera as he records himself before arriving at the israeli embassy, he says, i will no longer be complicit in genocide. i'm about to engage in an extreme act of protest. but compared to what people

have been experiencing and palestine at the hands of their colonizers. it is not extreme pre-med all this is what our ruling class has decided will be normal. then he appears to pour some sort of accelerant on his head, john, and then he sparks a lighter and sets himself on fire, yelling again and again, free palestine, free palestine, before eventually the flames overtake him and he collapses to the ground and police officers then rushed in to put out the fire with an extinguisher, but again, we now know that he has died from those injuries and look, john, this just again speaks to the rising tensions we're continuing to see, not just across the world, but right here in the united states over this escalating war in gaza, now, more than four months into the conflict the death toll nearing 30,000 people. and we saw similar incident back in december, a person set themselves on fire outside of the israeli consulate in atlanta. but this takes it to another level when an active duty member of the us military

has burned himself to death in the nation's capital but as the political stakes again continue to rise for the biden administration. >> all right. gabe cohen, thank you for bringing us up to speed on what's going on in washington. appreciate it. sir. >> all right. one of the people tasked with combatting antisemitism at harvard university has just resigned. the new reporting on what's behind this abrupt departure will have that coming up erin burnett outfront tonight at seven on cnn >> forced to be recommended >> now that you seek yew, your business bank account with quickbooks, money now earns 5% apy 5% apy. >> that's new. >> yep, that's how you business differently >> see idp disrupts the idp derails. >> let's be honest sucks but living to see idp doesn't have

some of the remaining hostages inside gaza. cnn's nic robertson is in tel aviv this morning with the very latest, a lot of hopes on these negotiations. nick you know, from the outside, you kinda get a sense of momentum, right? friday, paris, you have the head of cia, head of mossad, egyptian intelligence, qatari officials, that meeting, they leave saturday, come back, the prime minister here gets a briefing from the negotiation team that he sent, and then he says, okay, you guys go on to qatar and i'm enabling you go to canada and continue these talks. so we're expecting again as well the qatar is egyptians, us representatives to be there in qatar. but what's the substance? what's the meeting this? we don't know. >> there seems to be as we've been hearing now for number of weeks, that there is some kind of consensus about the initial phase that could be six weeks and could lead to the release of a number of the hostages.

it's been talked about the women the elderly, and the sec, perhaps about 40 people. how many palestinian prisoners get released? but there's no real details and i think at the moment and particularly for hamas shoes, you get the sense that there's a lot of sort of froth going on at the top, but not real substance that they see that changing that this is posturing the art of negotiation, of course, is always about making it look the other guy isn't doing enough. and right now, israel looks like it's doing a lot. it's been to paris, the prime minister said, go ahead and keep going. the delegation is going to qatar. let's see what they get out of it. >> with these negotiations. there's never a deal until there is one, so we just have to wait and see nic in the meantime, a really interesting development in the west bank this morning, which i hope you can explain to our viewers here, which is that the government under president mahmoud abbas basically resigned. what does that mean and what does that allow for

>> yeah, this is significant and it is of a moment as it momentous know, indicative, yes. why >> in early january and secretary >> blinken was here. he said that it was needed for the palace sending authority to reform and deep when he left, he said he had a commitment from them to reform. he made a visit back in february. there have been no change. so this does seem to be a step in the direction of potential palestinian authority reform. the prime minister has talked about the need to form a unity government. now that reaches across the us aspiration of finding a path to a palestinian state out of the war in gaza, something where there's a palestinian body that can administer both the west bank and gaza as well. it speaks to that the prime minister's shirts here the palestinian authority prime minister saying that it would be something a new unity government that would draw on, not parties, but on competencies. so is this

movement in that direction? it's certainly pressure the united states has been putting on the palestinian authority to make movements like this worth noting that in the west bank and i was talking to a respected palestinian pollster in the west bank just a couple of weeks ago. and he said right now the palestinian authority president's ratings 92% in the negative, the palestinian authority, there it's not particularly popular in the west bank. is there a need for change there? absolutely. >> all right. nic robertson. thank you so much for explaining that. >> so well and kate, i will take it, john. thank you so much. >> the co-chair of harvard's newly formed task force to fight against anti-semitism on campus. just resigned barely a month after joining the team. seen as matt egan has this reporting is joining us now, matt harvard continues to struggle here in these leadership posts. what's happened? >> well, kate, the timing here is stunning. normally, if everything's going smoothly, you don't step down from a high

profile position after just five weeks on the job. but that is what is happening here. harvard business professor raffaella sadun is resigning as the co-chair of this antisemitism task force that had just been put together. this news was sort of buried in the middle of a longer announcement from harvard laying out the full list of members of this task force. and another one, islamophobia. now the question is, why, of course, and the stated reason is that she wants to double down on academics harvard's interim president alan garber, he put out a statement saying that sadun has quote, decided to refocus her efforts on her research, teaching, and administrative responsibilities at harvard business school. but the fact that this came out on a sunday night and that it is so abrupt suggests that there could be some more afoot here now publicly for an ample sides are playing nice garber praise soon for her work on this task force and she said the garber has put together a quote

excellent task force but we do know there's a lot of pressure on harvard, right now, especially on the anti-semitism task force. and this anti-semitism issue and a job like this. i mean, this requires building consensus, which of course is no easy task given the spotlight on the university right now. and we've also learned that some jewish alumni at harvard for they are still upset with the antisemitism controversy de, or that they are even taking the extraordinary step of auditing the university's courses to try to root out what they see is pervasive anti-semitism. and just to remind people about how we got here. yeah, remember it was early december that then president of harvard claudine gay, she testified before congress that hearing was so disastrous that was a total mess. it was when she stepped down barely a month after that, amid a controversy over plagiarism, the new president, alan garber, he launched this presidential task force on antisemitism back on january 19, earlier this month, the house education committee took

the unprecedented step of issuing a subpoena to harvard. i mean, this committee has been around since just after the civil war and had never launched a subpoena to any university until now. and now we have of course, more turmoil with the co-chair of this task force stepping down. so this does feel like another setback for a university that is desperate to turn the page on controversy, and they have a lot of work that they need to do. forget about just leadership post. the reason that this taskforce had to be put together is because of what they were seeing was happening on campus. so this does it seems unlikely to be helping in the efforts to try to combat anti-semitism and islamophobia on campus. exactly. it's good to see you, matt. thank you for bringing that reporting. >> sara all right ahead. >> there's a growing measles outbreak at a florida elementary school, but the state's surgeon general is contradicting cdc guidelines to help stop the spread talk about it ahead

d.com and see your results. the first night me and you was

introduced you keep your head just like momtaz >> guests to stay was my sister some they're going to meet again. we need to look like we pulled out >> but you see that >> hello, people know streaming exclusively on max to new cases of measles have been reported in broward county, florida. now that brings the total number of children with his highly contagious disease to at least eight in the county. health officials are investigating. yet there's a twist here. florida surgeon general has failed to urge parents to vaccinate their children in light of this or advise them to keep unvaccinated students home because of how highly contagious this is instead saying that the state health department is deferring to parents or guardians to make decisions about school attendance. cnn's jacqueline

howard is following this for us and she's joining us now. so jacqueline what are health officials doing them >> yeah kate so there's this disconnect because florida health officials, as you mentioned, are leaving it up to parents to decide what to do, but we do know from cdc guidance, the cdc recommends when there is a measles outbreak children who are not vaccinated if they're exposed to the virus, should stay home for 21 days because that's the incubation period for the virus. whereas just last week, the state's surgeon general in florida sent a letter to parents and guardians saying what you just mentioned, kate, that the department of health is quote, deferring to parents or guardians to make decisions about school attendance so there is this disconnect between what the cdc guidance says and what florida is actually doing. now, the reason why this is controversial if the child is not vaccinated and there are exposed to the

measles virus and they're still sent to school. of course, they have their own risk of getting seriously ill or sadly, even possibly dying from the illness. but also if they're sent to school that raises the risk of the virus spreading and the outbreak getting worse. so there is a lot of concern around this if you're unvaccinated, 90% of the time, you will get the virus if you're exposed and measles is so contagious if someone's infected and they coffers sneeze, it can linger in the air for up to two hours. so that's the situation that we're at kd, which raises i mean, there's a whole i mean, talk about the amount of data that is out there to talk about how dangerous measles is, what needs to be done if there is an outbreak, the data is there. now the questions are swirling of what exactly broward county is going to do about this, jacqueline. thank you so much. exist. sara. >> all right. outrage this morning after an oklahoma lawmaker referred to the lgbtq plus community as and i'm quoting here, filth. republican

state senator tom woods isn't story about it at all. he's standing by his remarks. he made the comment after being asked about the recent death of a non-binary high school student nex benedict, who said to his family that they were beaten up during a fight in a school bathroom. correspondent whitney wild joins us with more on the story whitney, what exactly did the state senator says in his full response to the question >> well, here's the context of this, sara, this happened at a public event set state senator tom woods was joined by other lawmakers, other speakers, other leaders in oklahoma, and an audience member named kathy caught, questioned the speakers at that event, including state senator tom woods about laws in oklahoma that target people who are lgbtq plus in what she said according to an interview, she did with cnn, was that she asked why does the legislature have such an obsession with

lgbtq plus citizens of oklahoma? she also, as you mentioned, spoke about next benedict's death. again, that non-binary teenager who died, the day after a fight at their high school senator tom woods, said that his heart goes out to benedict's family and then said this republican supermajority, in the house and senate. i represented constituency. >> that doesn't want that field we are religious thing. we're going to be are going to use by the state of oklahoma because we're sir, as you said, there is >> outrage after those comments, but as you heard in that clip, there was also applause after that comment. kathy caught said that she was shocked she left the event immediately. cnn has reached out to senator tom woods, but we have not yet heard back sarah so much for the
